2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CK71 RYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to mechanical defects. While it passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 51,069 miles, it initially failed that same test due to a worn nearside front tyre and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these failures suggests the owner addressed only the specific faults required to clear the certificate rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a four-year-old van, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per annum. Between the test on 15 January 2025 at 40,018 miles and the subsequent test in December 2025, the vehicle covered 11,000 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components like suspension bushings and braking hardware compared to lower-mileage urban vehicles. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and geometry, as the record of a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often points to alignment issues, worn ball joints, or failing steering components. The reported tyre pressure monitoring system failure also requires verification to ensure the sensor is actually functional and not merely masking an electrical fault. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and pads for thinning or glazing is essential to ensure the vehicle remains safe for continued heavy use.
